Starting out by narrowing your search down is the key to getting better results. == Google == A regular Google (Yahoo, etc) websearch is very powerful. Remember to try it a couple of times using different words or phrases. Google has an [[http://www.google.ca/advanced_search?hl=en&output=linux&restrict=linux|advanced linux related search page]] than can be very helpful. == Ubuntu User Mailing List == To search any specific mailing list, [[http://search.gmane.org/|gmane]] is useful. [[http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.user|start your query here for just the ubuntu-user mailing list]]. == All the Ubuntu Mailing Lists == You can search all the Ubuntu Mailing List archives. Use a Google ''site search'' keyword [[http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=site:lists.ubuntu.com|like this]] by inserting '''site:websiteToSearch''' in your search terms. == Lots of Mailing Lists and Newsgroups == == Ubuntu Official Documents == [[https://help.ubuntu.com/|Start here]] and look for the search box on the top right hand side of any page. == Ubuntu Community Documents == [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community|Start here]] and look for the search box on the top right hand side of any page. == Ubuntu Wiki == [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/|Start here]] and look for the search box on the top right hand side of any page. == Ubuntu Forums == The Ubuntu Forums have a [[http://ubuntuforums.org/search.php|dedicated advanced search page]] as well as a simple search on the top of any page. ~-with apologies to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waylon_Jennings|Waylon Jennings]]-~
